Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The self-cleaning cycle uses very
high heat to
burn away soil Before you start.
make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely,
Before You Start
1.
Clean the shaded areas by hand
They do not get hot enough dur-
ing the Self-Cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water
DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal.
DO NOT move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning and poor baking will result.
and detergent or a soapy steel
wool pad on...
l
the frame around the oven.
l
the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal.
2. Remove the racks, broiler pan
and any pots and pans you may
have stored in the oven. They
can’t stand the high heat.
3.
Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This will help reduce smoke and
possible flare-ups during the
cleaning cycle.
Oven racks and chrome reflec-
tor pans must not be cleaned in
the oven. They will warp and
discolor.
Clean Door
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cleaning cycle.
This will help remove smoke, odor and heat that are normal during the cycle.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS:
DO NOT
use commercial oven
cleaners in your oven. Damage to
the porcelain finish may occur.
DO NOT
force the Lock Lever, you
could bend or break it. The lever is
designed to stay locked until the
oven is cool enough to safely open.
Wait until it moves freely.
DO NOT
use toil or other liners in the
oven. During the cleaning cycle foil
can burn or melt and damage the
oven sutface.
16
Sefting the Controls for Self-Cleaning
Be sure the kitchen Is ventilated during the Self-Cleanlng cycle. lhls will
remove normal smoke and heat odors from the room as quickly as posslble.
1.
Make sure the Clock, Start and
Stop Times all have the right time
of day.
3. Set the Oven Selector to CLEAN
The Oven Temperature Control
must be in the OFF position.
t
5. After the Clean Cycle is
completed and the oven tem-
perahrre has dropped below
500°F (260X),
the Lock Lever can
be moved back to the COOk
Position.
Do not force
ft. Wait until
it will move easily, Turn the Oven
Selector to OFF
2. Push in the Stop Time Knob and
turn the hand
clockwise 2-2Yz
hours.
l
Use 2 hours for light soil.
l
Use 2!‘2 hours for moderate to
heavy soil.
4. Move the Lock Lever to the CLEAN
position. This will start the Self-
Cleaning Cycle. If the door is not
completely closed or the lever
is not all me way to me right, the
cycle will not start.
When the oven temperature
exceeds normal baking tem-
peratures,
the oven door can’t
be opened and the Lock Lever
must not be moved.
6. After the oven Is cool,
wipe off
any residue or ash with a damp
d0m.
If needed, touch
up spots
with cleaner or plastic scouring
pad.
17
Special flps
Keep the kitchen well ventilated
during the cleaning cycle to help
get rid of normal heat, odors and
smoke.
If the cleaning cycle doesn’r get
the oven as clean as you ex-
pected, the cycle may not have
been set long enough or you
may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the cleaning
time
longer the next time and hand
clean areas noted on page 16.
Clean the oven before it gets
heavily soiled. Cleaning a very
soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual
To stop the cleaning cycle at any
ttme:
1. Push in and turn the Stop Time
Knob clockwIse until it points to
the right time of day.
2. Turn the Oven Selector to OFF.
When the oven temperature
drops below 500°F (260°C) the
Lock Lever can be moved to the
COOK Position. Do
not force it.
Wait until it moves easily.
How It Works
During the self-cleaning cycle. the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking
or broiling...approximately 875’F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and
Soil
and
burns it off.
